Israel: terrorists stab sleeping family to death in Itamar, 5 dead, including toddler and infant

'A' marks Itamar

The pressure the Obama Administration has put on Israel to loosen restrictions and checkpoints in Israel has resulted in a spat of new terrorists attacks on Jews in Judea and Samaria, including a horrible multiple murder last night in the town of Itamar, in Samaria. Itamar is a town of about 100 families, some 20 km from where I live.

Five family members were found murdered in their home early Saturday morning around 1:00 a.m.. The terrorist(s) had cut through a fence, broke and entered the house, and mercilessly stabbed the young family to death in cold blood.

Miraculously, 3 other children at the home, a 12-year-old girl and her two younger brothers, aged 6 and 2, were able to escape to a nearby house and inform their neighbors of the attack.

Let the traumatic horror that those children will have to live with sink in. Hillary Clinton surely won’t.

The attack was definitely not a stray incident, though I see that is how the media is already portraying it. It came after Hamas called for renewed attacks on Israelis, and on the anniversary of The Coastal Road Massacre of 1978, one of the most notorious of PLO terrorist attacks on Israel, where dozens of Israelis were killed when PLO terrorists from Lebanon landed at a beach north of Tel Aviv, and proceeded on a killing spree. 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children, were killed, and 71 were wounded. This attack is much celebrated by the Arabs, and they name various civic buildings and the like after their ‘martyrs’.

Mahmoud Abbas’s PA terrorists carried out a shooting attack Thursday in the Jordan Valley, targeting an Israeli bus as it passed near the Gitit checkpoint west of Maaleh Efraim.

A second bus was attacked near El Aroub. A group of PA Arab men threw rocks at the bus, causing damage but no injuries. Earlier in the week a female passenger on a bus was wounded in a similar attack, and required hospital care.

Also, a IDF soldiers caught two PA terrorists at the Tzofim checkpoint. The two were searched, revealing that both were carrying bombs and knives.

A number of Israelis have already died at the hands of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, thanks to their moronic insistence that Israel surrender more and more security to the terrorists. But, that said, in the end it is really Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barack’s fault for being such spineless, gutless leaders who care more about world opinion than they do their own people, including innocent toddlers and babies.

Ynet – Horror in Samaria: A terrorist infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Itamar, southeast of Nablus, early Saturday and stabbed five family members to death.

The shocking attack occurred around 1 am as the terrorist entered the family home and murdered three children aged 11, 3, and a baby girl along with their parents. The victims were apparently sleeping as the killer came in.

Itamar residents reported that shots were heard in the area; the terrorist managed to flee the scene. Three other children at the home, a 12-year-old girl and her two brothers, aged 6 and 2, were able to escape to a nearby house and inform their neighbors of the attack.

The terrorist who carried out the massacre cut the fence surrounding Itamar and entered the home of the victims through the window, an initial probe of the murder showed. Authorities could not immediately discount the possibility that more than one attacker was involved in the murder.

‘Toys next to pools of blood’

Following an initial report of the incident, large IDF and police forces rushed to the site. The Air Force also joined the effort to track down the terrorist, deploying numerous aircraft in the area. The night’s sky was lit up with flares, as special IDF and police forces were called in to assist in the manhunt.

The IDF Spokesman’s Office said “troops are scouring the area in search of the suspect. The IDF is performing inspections at all crossing points set up in the region.”

Magen David Adom ambulance service teams pronounced the victims dead at the scene. MDA spokesman Zaki Heller said the ambulance service got a call around 1 am and dispatched large teams of paramedics to the area.

“When rescue forces entered the house they encountered a very difficult sight…There were five people there who were hurt. We could do nothing but pronounce them dead,” he said.

Paramedic Kabaha Muayua was among the first responders at the site and described the horrific scene he encountered.

“We could not help the first four stab victims. Following an inspection of the scene I spotted an infant of about three who still had a pulse. We engaged in lengthy resuscitation efforts but had to pronounce him dead,” he said. “The murder scene was shocking. Kids’ toys right next to pools of blood.”

Paramedic Gil Moscowitz, who serves as MDA’s director of operations, said teams dispatched to the home discovered “parents and three children who were brutally murdered.”

“The parents were lying next to each other in their room…we found three bodies in the master bedroom; the two parents and a baby,” he said. (more >>>)
